A Bellows Falls psychologist was arrested in January and accused of sexually abusing a patient after DNA evidence was found on her socks, police said.
David Sanborn pleaded not guilty to lewd and lascivious conduct and sexual exploitation of a vulnerable adult in court last Monday.
Police said the patient's husband thought something might be wrong when the woman exhibited child-like behavior after visits with Sanborn. The woman exhibits child-like behavior when she is uncomfortable, her husband said.
Police said the woman's husband had accompanied the woman to sessions until Sanborn suggested she begin coming alone.
Police said the woman trusted and admired Sanborn, sometimes calling him "Lancelot."
Sanborn will be in court again in April.
Documenting Psychiatrists Behaving Badly
Of all professions, psychiatrists seem to get into the most trouble. I have been collecting stories about psychiatric screwups for a while. Sadly, it has been disgustingly easy to do. We post stories with links to the original sources. We couldn't make this stuff up if we wanted to. My Name is Sickmind Fraud.
